The trains have been shut down to prevent contagion. For Jyoti, as for millions of migrant workers, getting home with her injured father will require enormous ingenuity and gumption. Follow the real-life story of a girl who--desperate for her father to survive--rode almost a thousand miles across India with him on the back of a hot-pink twenty-dollar bicycle. Her amazing story, relayed for a young audience by author Garen Thomas and reporter Suhasini Raj, is a portrait of an unassuming girl who made an extraordinary decision and became celebrated across India, breaking entrenched stereotypes of caste and gender. This story of love, determination, problem-solving, and a pink bicycle will speak to young people everywhere.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGaren Thomas\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e best-selling children's book \u003ci\u003eYes We Can: A Biography of President Barack Obama\u003c\/i\u003e and worked as a kids' book editor for Scholastic and Disney-Hyperion and its imprint Jump at the Sun, among other publishers.
